Chapter 1641

After I sat down beside vasilevsky, I asked in surprise, "Comrade marshal, when did you return to Moscow?"“ Just came back yesterday, "vasilevsky laughed at me and explained," two days ago, comrade Stalin personally issued an order to cancel the representatives of the supreme command sent to all front forces. I came back and waited for him to arrange new work for me. " After that, he told the driver, "drive!" After waiting for the bus to start, I asked vassilevsky carefully, "do you know what Marshal Zhukov wants me to do, comrade Marshal?"“ The situation there has changed. The Germans launched a surprise attack on our army. We were caught off guard. " Vasilevsky said solemnly: "when he was in the Kremlin just now, Zhukov called the academy to look for you, but the person who answered the phone said you had left. Zhukov thought you had gone home and sent someone to look for you. He didn't expect that you were still in the college. " I thought that when Zhukov called me, it must have happened that Sasha was pulling me on the playground and talking all the time. Unexpectedly, she was just chatting, but she almost missed the big event. When I walked into his office behind vasilevsky, Zhukov, who was looking at the map inside, found me and immediately asked angrily, "Rita, where have you been? I couldn't find anyone in the college, and I couldn't get through the phone at home. I thought you were kidnapped by the spy. "“ Well, comrade marshal. " Seeing Zhukov's expression, my heart screamed that it was not good. In order not to make him angry, I had to make up a half true and half false reason to perfunctory him: "a trainee asked me for advice on tactics, because he talked about speculation, and forgot the time for a while." Perhaps vasilevsky wanted to help me out. As soon as I finished speaking, he immediately asked Zhukov, "Comrade marshal, what's the current situation there?"“ The situation is not very good. Batov's troops have retreated to the narev coast under the strong German offensive. " Zhukov pointed to the map and said to China silevsky: "fortunately, rokosovsky organized the artillery fire on the east bank in time to bombard the attacking enemy, so that our troops avoided being driven down the river."“ It's bartov again, "said vasilevsky with a frown." last year, after what he said, I was a fool. I don't think it's strange to get medals. It's very normal for me to get a few medals. What I never expected was that Stalin would promote me to the rank of general at this time. It was just beyond my expectation. I thought that I could get such a promotion only after the capture of Berlin. Seeing me standing still, vasilevsky asked unhappily, "Rita, don't you know what to say after you get the medal?" Although I didn't really get the medal at this time, I took a step forward and answered with my head held high: "serve the Soviet motherland!" Zhukov and vasilevsky looked at each other with a smile, then patted the map in front of them with their hands: "OK, we know that you have done a good job in serving our motherland. Now come and look at the map first, and we'll study how to deal with these ignorant Germans. "
